When this happens, scientists and engineers can find themselves unprepared in the midst of an intense science policy debate. In the absence of convincing evidence, technological optimists and skeptics struggle to build consensus. In these situations, it is best to sidestep the instigating controversy by using a broad risk-benefit assessment as a risk exploration tool to help scientists and engineers accomplish their goals while avoiding physical or moral dangers. Dangerous Science explores the intersection of science policy and risk analysis to determine ways to minimize negative impacts of science and technology on society. 606 $aRisk assessment$2bicssc 606 $aPublic finance$2bicssc 606 $aScience: general issues$2bicssc 606 $aBiology, life sciences$2bicssc 606 $aEngineering: general$2bicssc 606 $aScience & technology: general interest (Children's / Teenage)$2bicssc 615 7$aRisk assessment 615 7$aPublic finance 615 7$aScience: general issues 615 7$aBiology, life sciences 615 7$aEngineering: general 615 7$aScience & technology: general interest (Children's / Teenage) 700 $aRozell$b Daniel J$4aut$0957464 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910377813203321 996 $aDangerous Science$92168678 997 $aUNINA
